TL;DR: In this article, the authors present three plans for reform of the electoral college system, which appear to be designed to enable the "conservatives" to elect a President of the United States.
Abstract: Current proposals for reform of the electoral college system are embodied in three plans which appear to be designed to enable the “conservatives” to elect a President of the United States. Since 1932, the present electoral college system has compelled both parties to nominate presidential candidates who advocate policies devised to win the votes of conscious ethnic, religious, and economic groups in metropolitan centers, where these minorities hold a balance of power in populous states controlling large blocs of electoral votes. Consequently, all recent presidential candidates have supported social security, collective bargaining, and civil rights legislation. An inspection of congressional roll calls discloses the rather obvious fact that a number of Republicans and southern Democrats hardly approve of these and other so-called Fair Deal measures.

TL;DR: The Western Surgical Association has had a long and honorable career and its purpose has been to present scientific programs with the most recent advances in surgery—primarily for the further education of its membership.
Abstract: IT IS with real pleasure that I address you. I am cognizant of the honor you have conferred upon me as your president, and I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest thanks and appreciation. The Western Surgical Association has had a long and honorable career. Its membership is drawn in large part from the West and Middle West. We elect a governor to the American College of Surgeons. We nominate a candidate to the American Board of Surgery every six years. Our membership represents a large percentage of the surgeons in certain parts of our country. Our purpose has been to present scientific programs with the most recent advances in surgery—primarily for the further education of our membership. With the tremendous changes in the status quo, I have been deeply concerned and greatly troubled. Have we as members of the Western Surgical Association been too much occupied

Abstract: ‘As regards the exegetai three (in number) let the four tribes nominate four (men) each (man) from their own personnel, and let them (i.e. the State) scrutinize whichever three gain most votes and send nine to Delphi to appoint one from each group of three; the scrutiny and the age-qualification shall be the same for them as for the priests. Let these be exegetai for life; as regards a vacancy let the preliminary election be made by the four tribes in which the vacancy may occur.’
